Today in history I learned that Anna Fisher became the first “mom” in space. This occured in 1984. At this time she had one daughter, Kristen Anne< who was probably only one beacuse she was born july 29, 1983. Now she has another daughter, Kara Lynne, who was born January 10, 1989. She was in space for 7 days, 23 hours, and 44 minutes. Before going to space, she completed her 1 year of training and went into space for mission STS-51A. She launched from the Kennedy Space Center on November 8, 1984 and returned on November 16, 1984, after completing 127 orbits of the Earth. That is what I learned about the first mom in space.
